[pca] PCA Forum Link - And question about PCA

[McGranahan, Jamen]

Hmmm, I ran pca.pl --debug today and I ended up with an Out of memory
error! UGH! We're running Solaris 10 on this server. Please advise...

If you can't get this to work at all, please try the current development

version of pca from:

   http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/installation.html

It will now log to daemon.notice by default, which should get written to

/var/adm/messages on a vanilla Solaris system without any modifications.

When running "pca --debug", a sample syslog message will be sent. This 
helps when testing the --syslog option.
